SpCciai Correspondence of the Register.
NEW YORK, May 27.-The metropolis
has a great many varieties Of religious or
carnations, but il has none more curious
than the Church of the First Born, which
neStles under the iron bridge of the Penn,
sylvania road that crosses Erie street, IN
that lively suburb of the big town, Jersey
City. Upon the outer wall of the little
building is a bulletin whereOn is inscribed,
Holiness and divine healing.
The windows are darkened with curtains
and the day service is held under gaslight.
The preacher is Rev. NJ. ID. IIancoX, and
he breaches the doctrine OF physical heal
ing by amounting with olive oil after the
manner spoken of in the Scriptures. He
declares that a man who has full faith does
not need TO 90 to the nearest drug store,
and the patent medicine man has lost his
charm for him.
The members of the congregation are as
enthusiastic in their statements of belief as
is their pastor. When called upon for their
testimony they promptly responded. One
said she was brought into the church two
days previous unable to walk, and her
rheumatism was removed by amounting.
Another declared he had heen healed OF
cancer and heart disease, and showed the
spot on his nose where thecancer had been.
Another had been relieved of paralysis, and
walked about nimhly to show that it was
gone.
"And / was healed" said the pastor, "Oi
neuralgia Of the heart, kidney disease and
liver complaint"
4 young girl testified that she was cured
of 4 curved spine, and an older sister de-
clared that she had been relieved of spinal
disease. Another had been rid of drOpsy.
The final testimony was OF a woman who
held up and twisted about an arm that she
declared had been broken and healed by
amounting prayer and faith.
The preacher has no salary, but lives on
what is handed in. The members are evil
IDENTITY sincere in their statements, believ-
ing what they say, whether other people
do or not.

INDUSTRIAL. TRAINING IN RAIL
WAY SERVICE.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is
doing a good work in industrial education
through the school it has established at
Mount Clare, Maryland, for the education
of apprentices. Previous to the establish
ment of this school the Baltimore and Ohio
apprentices had neither incentive nor OPP
portunity to develop into intelligent work
men, so that on starting the classes it was
with great difficulty and only by absolute
~cOmpulsiOn that the attendance of about
forty shop-bOys was secured. They were,
with few exceptions, rude and almost TN
manageable in the classroom, uninterested
in the instruction, and scarcely able to
await the hoGr OF dismissal, when they
would vacate the schoOl-rOOm rudely and
in haste. Then the dissatisfaction was
confined to the most elementary subjects,
and the boys were unable or unwilling to
read technical or scientific books with any
show of profit.
The Popular Seisaee Monthly makes this
school the subject of a very interesting
article. Or the condition at present it
says: Now there are under school instruc-
ton seventy-fye as orderly and polite boys
as are to be found in any high school of
the country, and among the very best of
them are boys who a few months ago were
conspicuous for rudeneSs and inSubordina-
ton. There have been classes of appren-
tees in geometry, algebra, physics, loco
mOtive-engine, mechanics, mechanical
drawing, free-hand drawing, geOmetrical
drawing, English and history, anda valua-
bic method of instruction by special read
ing, selected and recommended by the
teachers to each pupil, with special refer
enee to his talents and the state Of his
education. Last year, as q rule, boys

THE effect of several big breach-of-
promise yerdicts is seen in the fact that
nearly every claimant now asks $4,000
damages. 4 few years ago the figure was
usually set At s., 200, and the plaintiff was
reasonably we'll satisfied il she recovered
$500. 1t may become necessary to limit
the liability of men in breach-OfprOmise
cases. Taking $4,000 away from the
average lover Is likely to ruin him for life.

GLOOMY PROSPECTS FOR IRE
LAND.

GLOOMY PROSPECTS FOR IRE
LAND.
The prospects OF Ireland are far from
encouraging at present. Two clauses OF
the coercion bill have been considered and
adopted in committee by the most arbri-
trary Of methods and rs soon rs Parlia-
ment reGsSembleS after the Whitsun yaca-
ton tue consideration OF the bill is to be
esumed and rushed through in the short
est possible time. Ii is said that il the
Home Rulers undertake obstruction the
gag rule will be applied and incocrigible
members suspended.
GLADSTONE and PAENELL have bsen
working on the principle thEt time
must he gained before the bill
comes to a final vote in the
hope that the sober thought and Of
Justice among the people would turn in
their favor. But these hopes have been
delusiye. The cause OF home rule is not
near 80 strong before the English people
now as it WA when Parliament was dis
solved and GLADSTONE appealed to the
people on this issue. The series of articles
published by the London Times and other
Tory papers have, however unjust they
were, excited prejudice against the cause
og Ireland. Nor has Editor O'BRIEN's
visit 10 Canada tended to influence votes
for Home Rule. 1t must be remembered
that when Ireland gets 4 Parliament oftheiE
own, it must he done by winning over
votes from the opposition. While the
speeches Of MI. O'BRIEN would hold his own
party firmly together and fire them with
enthusiasm, they would not remove the
preiudices of the opposition. The cOwardly
action of some Of the Canadian Orange
men has done more to arouse sympathy
Tor Ireland than the great Irishman'S
speeches here. Then add to these things
the fact that Parnel's health is failing
and Gladstone is growingOl d and will soon
hrye to retire from the field, the Irish
cause will suffer in the loss of such leaders.
Others Of course will spring up to take
their places, but such men as Gladstone
and Parnell do not appear in every genera
ton. The prospect is anything hut bright
for the oppressed Irishmen.

An important feature of the June Hdr-
per's NdgaziRe New York will be an en-
pertaining article on The Kentucky
Pioneers" by one of their direct descend
ants, John Mason Brown. The interest OF
the subject clusters around the picturesque
little city of Frankfort, the tavOrite resort
of Daniel Boone, and the place where the
famous pioneer is buried. The romantic
story of Boone and his intrepid cOmp9n-
ions is rehearsed in a graphic description OF
the thrilling incidents, the fierce Indian
lights, the hardy habits, and the hunts
man skill of this noble race. One Of the
most important passages is.that describing
the last great Indian battle in Kentucky,
at BryantS station and Blue Licks, with its
many scenes Of heroism. The value OF the
article is enhanced by excellent engravings
of Daniel Boone, Simeon kentOn. John
Brown, George Rogers Clark, and Robert
Patterson, by six drawings by Julian Xix
of picturesque historic landscapes, and by
two stirring illustrations of the capture OF
three pioneer girls and the defense Of the
station from Howard Pyle'S brush.

The Canny Collie.

The story of the wounded collie,
which was guided by two terriers to
Kings College Hospital in order to have
his wound dressed, is very remarkable,
but there are still stranger instances of
canine sagacity. The Ettrick shepherd,
for example, possessed a collie which
through long and faithful service, had
come to bear a striking facial resem-
blance to its master. This dog was an as
siduous church-goer, and would even oc-
cupy his masters pew on occasions,
when Hogg himself played truant from
divine service. On Monday, after one of
these occasions, when indisposition had
kept the shepherd at home, the minister
called and found Hogg sitting on one
side of his ingleneuk, the dog on the
other. g Well James," said the min
lister, " / was glad to see you at the
kirk yesterday" James said nothing
but looked across at the dog. The dog,
too, said nothing, but his eye twinkled
and he placidly winked at James! This
story is vouched for by Hogg himself, an
unimpeachable witness. - Pal Mall

Intellectual Work and Physical
Exercise.

So far as my observation and my own
experience go, periodicity is the proper
rule of severe intellectual exertion.
mean that the intellectual worker should
not endeavor to get his exercise and
amusement on the one hand and his
labor on the other in the same day.
The mind gets attuned to work, and
then can be made to 60 on for consid-
cradle time, provided the body is neither
clamorous nor exhausted. Ihave known
men who took their exercise for the
week almost all in one day, and with ex-
cellent results. Barristers and many
other men in England get most of their
exercise for the year in six weeks of
summer weather, when their vacation
occurs. OF course there are plenty of
examples, Scott and Trollope to begin
with, of authors who worked method
ically for a certain number of hours
every day; and undoubtedly when this
system does not involve too much fric-
ton it is the best. But many, and | think
probably most, writers find it easier on
the whole to take their work in long
stretches and make it alternate with
their play. | confess that | have a preiu-
dice in favor of the alternating system
because it accords with my passion for
going to extremes. This is trait which
/ believe / have mentioned before, and
| am always glad of an opportunity to
urge other people to adopt the same
theory-or failing, if they choose to
consider it such. l have sometimes
thought that could construct an elabo-
rate argument for going to extremes,
drawn from the operations of nature,
from the laws of the vegetable king
don and from the habits of animals. -
